Liverpool were able to take a commanding lead in their two-legged tie against RB Leipzig with a 2-0 away victory that puts them in pole position. Leipzig would need to go back to Anfield and win by a 3-0 margin in order to progress. 

The more impressive turnaround was Paris Saint Germain’s emphatic 4-1 victory over Lionel Messi’s Barcelona - who happened to score the opening goal of the match only to be undone by Killian Mbappe’s hat trick. PSG had been trading at a 7/2 margin for the outright win in that contest and they now look very likely to progress to the quarter finals at Barca’s expense. 

The action on Wednesday sees Juventus taking on FC Porto and you’ll find that Cristiano Ronaldo’s side are looming large here despite being the away team. The bookmakers have them trading around even money with some going as high as 15/13 for the 90 minutes win. Porto are priced around a 7/2 margin for the at home victory. 

Juventus are trading at a very slim ⅕ price to be the side who progresses to the next stage of the competition with their Portuguese counterparts paying out at 10/3 to make it to the quarter finals. 

You’ll find a number of top level goalscorers on the pitch in this match-up and it probably doesn’t come as a big surprise that Cristiano Ronaldo is priced as the outright favourite to open the scoring. The majority of bookmakers have him priced around 11/4 but there are a couple going as high as a 7/2 listing.
